  1. The Platform
    The Platform is a multi-tiered assembly of tension, terror and terrible imaginings that, in cake form, would be worth centerpiece window placement in any professional pâtisserie.
  2. Emergency
    Emergency fails to live up to its early promise, by squandering strong performances in a search for something more satirical.
  3. Spider-Man: Homecoming
    It may not quite reach the heights of Raimi’s Spider-Man 2, but Spider-Man: Homecoming emerges as one of the character’s strongest films to date, granting him a clean slate and infinite room to grow.

    Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
    The Last Wish is better than it has any right to be. From charming animation that combines digital and analog sensibilities and takes cues from fairytale books to performances that are pitch-perfect, it works! It would be a mistake to write it off as a late-in-the-game sequel or nostalgia cash-grab when it’s clear there’s true craftsmanship behind the work.

    The Loved Ones
    There is clearly a lot of ambition to The Loved Ones and the near-brilliant leading performances help make the film a unique and terrifying experience.
  6. Honey Boy
    While it takes a few too many cues from similar coming-of-age tales, Honey Boy offers audiences an egoless dissection of Shia LaBeouf’s side of his own story.
  7. The Ivory Game
    While The Ivory Game's ambitiously broad look at the illegal ivory trade takes on a bit more than it needs to, it does shed some definite light on a growing global problem.
  8. Julieta
    Julieta is a timeless and mature examination of femininity and guilt that marks a return to form for director Pedro Almodóvar.

    One Of Them Days
    The buck unfortunately stops at the inspired casting, reducing 'One of Them Days' to another destiny method comedy that might find viewers, but not an audience.
  10. Pirates
    In a world where everything is hyperconnected, Pirates looks to revel in a simpler time when neighborhoods were worlds unto themselves. This reveling is something it achieves with flair and room to spare, as a fully-fledged writer-director steps up to make his mark.
  11. The Devil's Candy
    See this movie, live the fear, embrace the metal, and get sucked into a flaming, invigorating landscape of Hell that will cripple any horror-loving parent.
  12. Juror #2
    In "Juror #2," Clint Eastwood delivers his best directorial effort in years, crafting a morally complex courtroom drama that's elevated by Nicholas Hoult's compelling performance and a thought-provoking premise.

    Nanny
    A stunning debut from Jusu, 'Nanny' is brimming with incredible visuals, powerful performances, true suspense, and the power of Black feminine resilience.

    M3GAN
    M3GAN is a creepy, delightful new addition to the evil doll horror subgenre, complete with some killer dance moves.
  15. Always Shine
    This is a glamorous, commanding and important watch, primed to corrupt audience minds for a multitude of passionate reasons – first and foremost of which is that Takal stages one damn fine free-thinking thriller.

    Mickey 17
    A Bong Joon-ho film for the fans of 'Okja' and 'Snowpiercer'. Our generation's liveliest, most earnest director is back.
  17. Am I OK?
    Dakota Johnson and Sonoya Mizuno lift this reinvention, with some genuinely engaging performances.
  18. Nine Days
    Nine Days is a fascinating, thought-provoking and incredibly moving feature directorial debut from Edson Oda.

    Piggy
    Piggy surprises and shocks all the way up to its ending. It’s fueled by teenage angst and revenge, keeping you in suspense and invested in this story of sweet, potential revenge. Ultimately, it’s at its best when it takes the time to understand Sara and stick with her no matter what. Come for the story of Sara’s revenge, and stay for the twists and turns along the way.
  20. The Outrun
    While still a fascinating filmmaking exercise, this is, unfortunately, one of those movies you can recommend to everyone. Still, The Outrun is a vehicle for Ronan’s talent, with her driving fast towards awards season.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Outwaters
    The Outwaters is a movie that rewards patience and gives your mind the freedom to run away with its setup and follow it to the bitter end. There is certainly a lot happening here, and it doesn’t all make sense or have an explanation, but that’s the (terrifying) point.
  22. The Lure
    The Lure is powerful enough to cast an obsessive spell on anyone watching.
  23. Christine
    Christine is a fine piece of cinema, not only boasting one of the best performances of the year to date, but also tackling a difficult subject with ample empathy and intelligence.

    Orion and the Dark
    With surprises, humor, and accessible profundity in spades, 'Orion and the Dark' has set the bar remarkably high for the rest of 2024's animated features.
  25. The Eagle Huntress
    Feminist by nature rather than design and consistently visually dazzling, The Eagle Huntress is top flight documentary cinema.
  26. El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie
    A simple and simply satisfying seal, El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie will, in no way, tarnish the alchemic legacy of its TV precursor, though it doesn’t do much to enhance it.

    Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
    Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves' manages to put a winning spin on the fantasy genre with its high-stakes plot, compelling characters, and a huge world with opportunities to share more stories.
  28. Midsommar
    Ari Aster continues on as filmmaking’s ringleader of grief in Midsommar, an unsettling, often shocking portrayal of cultic life that’s rich with both ambition and beauty.
  29. Doctor Strange
    Doctor Strange is the psychedelic kung-fu spectacle that Marvel hoped director Scott Derrickson would deliver, but it’s got a strange problem – the doctor himself.
  30. The Suicide Squad
    The Suicide Squad is James Gunn at his most unhinged, unrestrained and unleashed, but the result is one of the best DC movies in years.
  31. Manifesto
    As a work of cinematic art, it defies codification. It begs for multiple viewings, if only to pick apart the concepts that it introduces, changes, and interacts with over the course of its run time.
  32. Eileen
    Director William Oldroyd offers up a 50s potboiler in 'Eileen,' which is held together by an elegant Anne Hathaway and downtrodden Shea Whigham. Steeped in period perfection but hampered by an off-kilter final third, this might not be for everyone.
  33. The Invisible Man
    Leigh Whannell does a damn fine job manifesting unnerved tension and sustaining Cecilia’s downfall right in front of everyone’s eyes.
  34. The Batman
    The Batman is a thrilling, ambitious, and exhilarating reboot for the comic book icon. It might not be the Dark Knight's best-ever movie, but it comes mighty close.
  35. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings isn't top-tier MCU, but it's a solid origin story anchored by two fantastic performances from Simu Liu and Tony Leung, as well as some of the franchise's best action.

    Prey
    Prey is a fresh, original, and exciting entry into a franchise that was in desperate need of new life.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Heretic
    Heretic is a genuinely unsettling psychological horror, but it suffers from having one too many red herrings.
  38. Prevenge
    Prevenge is a breathtaking, savage debut from Alice Lowe, one that boasts horrific moral deprivation and a sense of humor drenched in maternal madness.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie
    Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is interesting, funny, and flashy by itself, manga and television aside. And there’s something in it for shonen fans of all sorts, replete with the tired trope of teenage boys giggling over their friends’ big boobs while standing right next to her.
  40. Spider-Man: No Way Home
    Spider-Man: No Way Home occasionally creaks under the weight of its own ambition, but it's a monumentally entertaining installment of MCU multiversal madness that fans are going to adore.
  41. Hacksaw Ridge
    Though it's a bit of a wobbly mess at times, Hacksaw Ridge ultimately winds up being a deeply moving character study about an unlikely American hero.
  42. A Dark Song
    A Dark Song digs its claws in and never lets go, finding horror in rituals, personal reflection and burning black-magic sensations. It’s dreadfully inviting from start to finish, with an almighty climax at just the right time.
  43. A Quiet Place Part II
    In a time when identity, image and awareness are key to any discussion, A Quiet Place Part II demonstrates the possibilities of stories in the hands of those uniquely suited to explore them.
  44. The Last Laugh
    An entertaining and thought-provoking film, The Last Laugh presents multiple perspectives on taboo humor without passing judgment.
  45. The Wonder
    Surrounded by a solid ensemble of cast iron characters actors, The Wonder tries to address some serious issues beneath the guise of a beguiling period piece. What audiences are ultimately left with equates to a moral fable with female empowerment holding things together.
  46. Mosul
    It might not reinvent the wheel in terms of either the action thriller or modern day war genres, but Carnahan has delivered a hugely accomplished debut that’s often harrowing to watch but never anything less than eminently watchable, packed with both nailbiting tension and impeccably-crafted set pieces that mark him out as a director well worth keeping an eye on.
  47. Ingrid Goes West
    Ingrid Goes West is the kind of social media satire we need, even if a tone-shifting second act drives focus from mental health to less interesting criminal goofiness.
  48. Molly's Game
    Aaron Sorkin’s indelible wit and naturally fervent performances from Jessica Chastain and Idris Elba prevent Molly’s Game from drawing dead.
  49. Shazam!
    Shazam! proves that the DCEU has a sense of humor, can execute on it and *deliver* an electric punch of uber-fun comic book action, too. Heart, humor and heroics – can I get a hell yeah?
  50. Prisoners
    Prisoners isn’t bringing much new to the tradition of crime thrillers and missing children horror stories, but it does speak mightily to how quality of craft separates an airplane page-turner from a minor triumph of pulp poetry.

    Companion
    An exciting, intentional ride that never resorts to cheap thrills, instead keeping its story grounded in this day and age's most pertinent topics: lonely men and AI.

    A Complete Unknown
    For viewers who want to understand Bob Dylan as an artist, A Complete Unknown more than fits the bill. It’s an exemplary character study that doesn’t skimp on the hits that made the musician an enduring icon. The film is unabashedly itself, just as its subject matter is.

    The Bikeriders
    Jeff Nichols' masterminding could have sealed the deal on its own, but thanks to this cast, 'The Bikeriders' roars.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Monkey Man
    The heart Dev Patel put into Monkey Man is clear at every turn, but the actor-turned-director might have bitten off more than he could chew in his behind-the-camera debut.
  56. Ant-Man and the Wasp
    Ant-Man And The Wasp is the kind of playtime entertainment suited for Scott Lang's better-when-on-a-team personality, loaded with size-shifty sight gags and lower stakes worth Paul Rudd's ensemble stardom.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Nightmare Alley
    Overall, the writing, performances, direction, and cinematography of Nightmare Alley are all top notch in virtually every way.
  58. The Old Guard
    The Old Guard has everything you could want from a Netflix actioner. Combat situations get your adrenaline pumping, and it’s rather quick to the draw. Gina Prince-Bythewood establishes a world worth investment thanks to characters who develop farther than just another team of renegade badasses.
  59. The Peanut Butter Falcon
    [LaBeouf is] one of the few actors capable of turning this protector companion on the page into a layered role.
  60. Lion
    Lion may be a little too Oscar-bait-y, but it's not without loud emotional roars.
  61. Rocketman
    A fantasy in nearly every sense of the word, Rocketman reaches for and grabs hold of the stars so often that the dazzle occasionally becomes too much to handle.
  62. The Little Hours
    The Little Hours is saved by Fred Armisen and Kate Miccuci, the only performers who don't suffer from the film's one-note delivery at some point.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Evil Dead Rise
    Evil Dead Rise is rightfully gruesome and peculiarly ghoulish. And it makes it worthy of a theatrical experience.
  64. It
    As far as mainstream horror goes, It is a brilliant example of what can happen when equal attention is paid to story and scares.
  65. Blockers
    Blockers sells itself as a parents-first warpath comedy, but the true treat here is watching a trio of young women navigate sex-comedy narratives that boys have dominated for far too long.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Bodies Bodies Bodies
    There is plenty to love about Bodies Bodies Bodies, even if it could’ve sharpened its satirical knives a bit more. Overall, it’s a fun, darkly humorous watch that’s worth checking out if you’re looking for something fresh to satisfy your appetite for horror and humor in equal measure.

    The Piano Lesson
    Wilson’s work finds a foothold in cinema in a stunning debut by Malcolm Washington and the moving performances from all the actors.
  68. Chronic
    Roth’s solid performance and Franco’s confident direction dovetail neatly into a film that knows what it wants to communicate and how to achieve it.
  69. Blue Jay
    Sarah Paulson and Mark Duplass shine in Blue Jay, a charming nostalgia trip tackling heady themes in a manner that is both lovingly awkward and brutally real.
  70. Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie
    Its shamelessly sophomoric sense of humor only sporadically leans into inspired territory, but while it may not arrive as an instant classic, the ambitiously titled Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie easily stands among the best animated films of the year so far.
  71. Girls Lost
    Girls Lost fills the magical realism, gender dysphoria, Swedish indie teen drama-shaped hole in your life. It's just a damn shame it all falls apart in the final act.
  72. Cult of Chucky
    Cult Of Chucky roots itself in nostalgia long enough to shock us all by flipping the Child's Play franchise on its head in an invigorated, inspiring, and oh-so-deadly way.
  73. The Birth of a Nation
    The Birth Of A Nation is not without inherent power, but Parker struggles to evoke anything besides surface tellings of textbook atrocities.
  74. Spider-Man: Far from Home
    Spider-Man: Far From Home is the upbeat teenage "road trip" comedy antidote to post-Endgame doom and gloom that Marvel fans deserve.
  75. Patriots Day
    With Patriots Day, Peter Berg translates national tragedy to cinema screens with power and purpose for the second time this year – yet the question for many is with wounds still healing, do we really need to be subjected to recreations of a hateful act still fresh in our nation’s history?
  76. Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon
    Rather than being the After Hours Scorsese homage it hinted at, Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon loses its way, and becomes little more than a pretty distraction.
  77. The Deepest Breath
    Filled with awe-inspiring imagery, and a heartbreaking real-life tragedy, 'The Deepest Breath' is powerful stuff.
  78. The Monster
    In the end, The Monster does more by way of thrilling tension and heartfelt admissions than it does through any scares, but that doesn’t make it a bad horror film. Bryan Bertino reveals a gushy soft side, only to tear out his heart and hoist it for all to see.
  79. Fahrenheit 11/9
    Michael Moore points all 17 of his fingers in all directions during his latest ferocious, if scrambled film, surprisingly avoiding individual attacks and instead convincingly describing what role we all played in this globally-recognized disaster.
  80. Get Duked!
    Doff’s directorial debut bursts off the screen with eccentric energy and yet, retains a relentless sense of duty to the company its characters keep. It’s effectively touching as a display of camaraderie, equally ridiculous, and a great deal of fun.
  81. Cha Cha Real Smooth
    Cha Cha Real Smooth is perfect because it never set out to be anything close to a rom-com. Raiff focused instead on what it is that brings people together, which has more to do with attraction than anything else in cinema.

    Carry-On
    Dramatically satisfying with a plethora of engaging twists, 'Carry-On' sticks a firm landing with maximum turbulence.

    Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me
    The documentary, although formulaic, and punctuated by tacky sequences of Gomez narrating passages from her journal over performative images that feign depth, is, in its majority, an uninhibited look into the challenges of dealing with mental illness, which is obviously exacerbated by a life in the public eye.
  85. Deepwater Horizon
    Deepwater Horizon is effective, efficient and furiously paced.

    Smile
    Smile doesn't reinvent the wheel regarding horror, but it does offer up a smartly executed chiller bolstered by fine performances and plenty of jolting moments that is sure to please fans of the genre.
  87. I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House
    A few images sear with the burning sensation of undead terror, but that only accounts for a few short minutes of an otherwise more-daunting-than-it-should-be cinematic exploration of death.
  88. The Blackcoat's Daughter
    The Blackcoat's Daughter aims for lofty satanic thrills, but gets lost in visuals that oversell a barbed but tangled nightmare.
  89. Professor Marston & the Wonder Women
    Professor Marston is a sweet, saucy biopic about unconventional love and iconic origins (plus bondage!).
  90. Chuck
    The Bleeder is a surface-value, party-first boxing dramedy that pulls its punches and goes too far into "charismatic sleazeball" territories.
  91. The Childhood of a Leader
    Despite its occasional oversteps and misfires, The Childhood of a Leader is a fascinating film, as moving and irresistible as it is terrifying.
  92. The Night House
    The Night House might not stick the landing, but it's an eerie supernatural chiller with an incredible lead performance from Rebecca Hall.
  93. Hustle
    It isn’t anything you haven’t seen a handful of times before, then, but that’s exactly why Hustle works so well. It’s a 117-minute blanket of comfort that delivers precisely what you want to see from an underdog sports story, and never tries too hard to be anything else.
  94. Avengers: Infinity War
    Avengers: Infinity War cares a bit too much about being "Part 1" and holding enough development for "Part 2," but MCU fans should see their 10-year buildup expectations met - not exceeded, but met.
  95. A Vigilante
    A Vigilante succeeds not by exploiting torture, but instead shifting focus to Olivia Wilde's painful, so very real performance.
  96. An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power
    An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth To Power is an important and relevant worldwide look at the environmental crisis.
  97. Sometimes I Think About Dying
    If anything, Sometimes I Think About Dying is an ultimately optimistic film, which feels life affirming and poignant in parts. That it also affords Ridley one of the best roles she has had in recent memory, only makes this more of an intriguing proposition.
  98. Enola Holmes
    The film plays with form the way Enola plays with words: dazzlingly, whimsically and sarcastically. It's a breezy escape from a world that seems to be getting darker by the day.
  99. A Quiet Place: Day One
    A Quiet Place: Day One is a gripping prequel that balances emotional depth with thrilling suspense. Lupita Nyong'o's standout performance and the film's fresh take on the franchise make it a must-watch, despite some predictable plot points.
  100. No Time to Die
    As another era of James Bond is brought to close and speculation builds about the future of this franchise, this reinvention feels perfectly timed.
